Friday 3rd May: Live guest Bart from Livewire

[Jess1-RO]

INFOBUS is back! May 2019...

On Friday the 3rd of May 7-9pm we will be having an Infobus! If this is your first time hearing about an infobus, go here to learn about what they are!

Our guest will be Bart from Livewire.

Livewire is an online place for teens living with a serious or chronic illness to share stories, laugh, have a vent.. And go somewhere where they will be understood.

Bart will be chatting all things chronic illness, how to get support and how to cope with the daily struggle illness can bring.

If you have any questions for Bart submit them below, and we will ask Bart on the day ( depending on how many we get!)

Getting really excited for our chat with Bart this Friday! 

A bit about Bart:

Bart worked as a music producer in Sydney and London between 1990-2012, working with many bands and writing music for film, TV and advertising. In 2012 Bart decided to make a change and began working for Starlight, helping to set up the Livewire program in two major children’s hospitals in Sydney, providing creative outlets to improve the wellbeing of patients. Soon after, Bart began working for the online version of Livewire, “Livewire.org.au”, as a chat host, where he is online most Thursday nights, providing support, advice and receiving youth culture tips from the many fantastic members of Livewire.

Bart has also helped to teach Maddie Newton how to write and record her first songs in hospital (featured in the ABC TV show, “The Recording Studio” this week. Check the episode here on iview)

Hope to see some of you online this Friday, to chat with Bart at 7pm! 

If you can't make it, feel free to post a question and I'll be sure to ask it on the night.
